Frank, Ah the CDPP the legal hall of fame, possibly the most inept bunch in the country.
In W.A. a Prosecutor completely stuffs Andrew Mallards life who gets a life jail term but the prosecutor is subsequently found to have run the case incompetently, result = $10,000 fine after he resigned and got a $270,000.00 payout. Mallard gets released by the Supreme court after 12 years, exonerated with a State $3.0million ex gratia payout.
I know not aviation related and state based but demonstrates the breathtaking way the various DPP protect their own.
Just a demonstration of the way the Criminal Justice system operates.
